i recently have started this quest on learning how to program. I downloaded the python program and, I am trying to get familiar with it. I have read alot of what HTS forums and what you guys and gals are talking about plus google however i am still at the first blinking dot.I guess what i am trying to say I see how to do it but I dont understand how you get from the blinking dot and <>;; to the finished product.I am going to school for this in the near future and i do not want to be a complete idiot when i get there I definetly have the determination to do this, because for the last 2 months i have been obsessed on learning all i can about html My other question is aside from the books that have been posted on this forum is there any web sites that can help me or maybe i should start with somthing else like java first because if 3 of the syntax are pretty close maybe i should start with one of them

Hmmm... I just want to ask a little question, what are you asking about ?! Honestly I can't understand, you are trying to learn python or you've already done but don't know how to make a complete project ??!

You'd double click the script, and it should automatically run, if you have the proper version installed. Or, you could just go to IDLE, and click "Run" >> "Python Shell". Also, you posted in the wrong section. Python isn't a compiled language, it's an interpreted language (I won't go into the differences), but we _do_ have an interpreted languages section, over here.

Three ways the script can be run :1-run it from IDLE opening it from the menu in IDLE2-save it as .py and double click. That'll run it in a console3-save it as .pyw and it will run with the console hidden4-finaly, search for pyexe and make the script copiled to exe. Very helpfull if you want to run it on a pc without py interpreter

Python is a very good language to start with and easy to learn. You'll like it

As you can see from above, this problem was already solved, and had no need for further input.
